Our item last week in regard to re-
: Numbering the person who so gener.
: ously plows out our sidewalks after 6
, snow som, seems to have struck 6
right chord, as liberal amount has
already been subscribed therefor.
At the caucus Saturday night the
following delegates were elected to the
County Temperance Convention II.
A. Bailey, NJ. B Eaton and Clark
Richardson. Alternates, S. B. Waite,
1. c. Vaughan and w. G. Maxfeld.
Elmer Vaughan and Preston Fair
banks have gone to Boston where they
have secured work in lumber yard.
They are good boys and we hope their
sojourn at the Hub will not be perma-
nent-as they cannot be spared from
this place.
The six-year-old son of Geo. Whit
comb, who lives on g The Island," met
with a very peculiar accident Monday
morning. He fell from a shed and
bit his tongue, cutting it so badly that
it was necessary to take several stitch
es in it in order TO get it into its right
shape again.
The condition of Overseer Bliss is
not as favorable as we anticipated last
week. Sunday afternoon he had a
sinking spell and although compare
lively comfortable since, he does not
improve. We understand the physi-
clans do not give much encouragement
as to his recovery.
The winter term of school in the
Wiswell District closed last Friday.
In the evening an exhibition was
given, which proved that the teacher,
Ii. A. Bailey, had been very faithful
in the discharge of his duties. There
was large attendance and all the eX-
ercises are well spoken of.
One of the articles in the warming
for the coming town meeting is to see
if the town will appropriate small
sum to be used in a proper observance
of Decoration Day. We have no doubt
that a sum will be so voted. This is
the custom in nearly every other town
and of course we will not be behind
in this respect.
The sad news of the death of A. L.
Noyes reached this place Friday night
and cast a gloom over the entire COM
munity. His brother Barber started
Saturday to meet Mrs. Noyes, who
left for home Friday with the remains.
They are expected to reach here Sat
urday or Monday. A more extended
notice is given in another column.
The singing-school taught by Prof.
A. H. Cheney of Stowe, closed Mon
day evening. Owing TO sickness the
class was not as large as was at first
anticipated, but we believe those who
attended throughout have received
much benefit. The instructor has
been faithful and has used his best
efforts to bring about good results.
Should Mr.. Cheney desire to form
another class here next winter, he will
receive a generous support.
Geo. Manning, a son of Michael
Manning, died early Monday morning
after an illness of but two days. The
boy had been in comparatively good
health all winter and showed no signs
of sickness until Saturday, when it
was thought he was simply suffering
with a chill. A doctor was called who
prescribed for him; but he continued
to grow worse until death relieved
him. The general opinion as to the
cause of his death seems to be rheuma-
tism of the heart. The boy was 10
years old. He died at his uncle's, w.
d. Manning's, where he was at work
temporarily. The funeral was held at
the Catholic Church Tuesday after
noon.
